The Negative Way




          

                                                           




                                                                 The Spiritually Dispossessed

 

                                                           They see clouds but never experience them

                                                                                     they pull weeds and till the ground but do not plant

                                                                                     they drift through the phenomenal world oblivious

                                                                                     of the hidden side of things, and never experience

 

                                                                                     the dawning joy of waking up to the perennial truth

                                                                             imbedded in the noumenal world of all creation

                                                                             they refuse to look at the tangible world through

                                                                             the eyes of their inward child, and show no interest

 

                                                                            in learning about life outside their comfort zone

                                                                            so, they continue to play in the playground of the blind

                                                                            until the music stops, and in their loneliness they long

                                                                            to find the courage to reveal themselves – to someone.
